On December 11, 1949, Britt David Baptist Church met for the first time as an official new church in Columbus, Georgia. After months of praying and strategizing, the church was planted in a newly growing area of the city. Seventy-five years later, we thank God for what He has done in, with, and through this church. His handiwork here is worth celebrating. We also celebrate Christmas in various places and in various forms. Some celebrate the season itself, some Santa, and some snowballs, and others sugar plums. But we celebrate the Savior. He really is the reason for the season. He is Immanuel, God with us. That is worth celebrating.

The Last Days will be hazardous days for the world in general, and greater pressure is being put on the church. Not only will the church need to endure the days themselves, but fulfilling the Great Commission will face more obstacles than ever before. This world needs a Spirit-filled, Spirit-empowered, Spirit-anointed church to endure.

There is no doubt but that we are living in the Last Days, knowing that the Rapture of the Church and the Coming of Christ are nearer than ever before. That blessed hope of the church is also a great burden for the church knowing that we have a shortening time to bring men and women and boys and girls into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. There is much to do and less time to do it.

Sadly, not all ministers are in ministry for the right reasons. This is true among vocational pastors, volunteer leaders, teachers, deacons, staff members, really anyone involved in ministry. We are thankful for the ones who are the right kinds of persons doing the right kinds of things in the right kinds of ways. Make sure you make the most of the character of the person leading.

In the first half of 2 Timothy 2, Paul’s focus was on Timothy maximizing his ministry, making the most of his opportunities, expanding and growing his ministry beyond where it currently is. In the second half of 2 Timothy 2, Paul’s focus is on Timothy maximizing the minister, making sure that he is the kind of leader that church needs. As much attention as we place on results, we need to pay more attention to the character of the man who is leading.

Unity in the church is not based on sameness nor on similarities. Unity comes from the Spirit. Thus the Bible says that we are to be “endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” It is HIS unity that we must strive to maintain.

David wrote, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” There’s nothing quite like a church that is unified in Christ. They work together, they worship together, and Christ is glorified. And we the church are called to maintain that unity.

Paul certainly maximized the opportunities for ministry God had given to him, and he gave himself completely. As Paul looks forward to the next generation of ministry, he knows the need for that same level of strength, steadfastness, and sacrifice. He wants to see Timothy succeed in maximizing the opportunities for ministry God will give him.
